Mozilla foundation kills Firefox with Quantum

As if it was not enough to kill AdBlock Plus, then AdBlock Edge, then Cookie Monster plugins for ad kickbacks, Mozilla made another quantum leap and released their totally new, revamped and re-designed Firefox Quantum.

With every new "giant leap" I always look for broken things, and this time it was DownThemAll add-on. It's dead in water. The developer is not doing anything to keep up anymore, as this is an uphill battle in a war of attrition. The substitute add-ons do not cut it: the best of them downloads corrupted files using multiple streams. Boo-hoo.

Annoyances of Quantum continue beyond killing add-ons. The UI is nauseous, it sucks and the sound of sucking is deafening. Forced addition of every visited site to the blank tab's Top Sites, and having to dismiss them multiple time from the same slot is, like, wow! You've outdone every open source developer scumbag ever born!

And the most laughable part of this is that with all that hoopla and sock puppet bots claiming how they moved from Chrome to Quantum for it being so awesome, some sites do not even work in Quantum. All I see is a blank page. But Chrome opens them no problemo.
